You can decide if this is good art or bad art, but movies are an art form.
They can be, sure, but art can have an agenda too. The difference between this movie and Reds is that this movie doesn't have good actors, good dialog, a good writer, a good director, or a well told story. Reds may have an agenda but it doesn't let that get in the way of telling a good story.
There are some people that cite Juno as a Pro-Life movie. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but
politics are not the point of the movie. It's a quirky comedy in which there would be no story without the girl having the baby (same thing with Knocked Up).
If the filmmakers of this movie wanted to make a good Pro-Life horror movie they failed miserably. I think having a woman get an abortion and then having the ghost of that unborn child haunt her could have made for a more interesting story (and the twist is nothing is haunting her, its just her conscience) and do it without any of the characters blatantly stating the politics.
Don't try to cash in love, that check will always bounce.
